Genius remembers "Love ♂ ÷ Little" in a second to →provide you with wonderful novel reading.
"Do you know, the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion invited the Ministry of Rites to be the secretary of the mountain, and went to the Li family to propose his relatives again!"
"What are you going to do in the Jing'an Hou Mansion? This is simply not the right door. 【愛↑去△小↓說△網 Qu 】"
"We don't know what the picture is, anyway, the Li family is glorious, the daughter of the little Hanlin Xiu, as soon as she comes out of the pavilion, she can become a high-grade Mrs. Hou, tsk, this glory is not what many people ask for. ”
There was a tea stall under the roadside tree outside the apricot alley, which was full of people watching the excitement, and they were gathering together to discuss the new things of the Li family.
"So the Li family agreed?"
"Can you agree, this is a good family affair that is difficult to find with a lantern, and the man can be the champion Hou! I think when the champion Hou led the Northern Expeditionary Army into the city to receive a reward, the three daughters of the old Wang family next door fell into lovesickness after a glance from a distance, and now they are crying and refusing to marry. ”
The winter is leisurely, and it is a warm sunny and warm weather, people finally have such a conversation, the more they talk, the more excited they become, and even a carriage quietly drove out of Apricot Hutong without anyone paying attention.
The sound of those discussions penetrated into his ears, and Li Jiao, who was sitting in the carriage, was upset and irritable when he heard it, and suddenly lifted the curtain to look out.
"Girl—" The maid Xing'er was startled and couldn't help but shout.
Li Jiao lowered the curtain angrily and covered her face with frost: "What, I want you to take care of the scene outside?"
She has been really aggrieved these days, not to mention that she is unsatisfactory everywhere, even the personal maid is a timid and fearful person, and she has no wit of Chunfang and Qiulu at all.
"The slave didn't dare. Apricot bowed her head.
Li Jiao sneered: "I don't know what you think? Let me tell you, no matter how bad my situation is, I am also your master, since you have become my maid, you will have a relationship of both prosperity and loss with me in the future, and you had better weigh this clearly." ”
"The slave knows. Apricot shrunk and said.
Li Jiao felt even more bored when he saw it, and snorted coldly and closed his eyes against the wall of the car.
She was grounded for half a year, and she finally gained some freedom recently, otherwise she wouldn't have to think about this trip.
But thinking of the reason for going out, Li Jiao was even more depressed.
She quit the social circle of the ladies in the capital and almost no one inquired for half a year, and now the invitations of the girls in various houses are flying to her like snowflakes, all to inquire about Li San!
Why did the Marquis of Jing'an ask to marry Li San? Is the champion Hou already obsessed with Li San?
She didn't have to go to the ladies to know what they were going to ask.
Those invitations pushed her all down, and only went back to her grandfather's Guchang Bo Mansion to meet her cousin Du Feixue.
She has now figured out that without a prominent background, no matter how exquisite she is, she is useless, and she has no weight in the hearts of those noble girls.
As for Li San, no matter how bad his reputation is, after having the proposal of the Marquis of Jing'an, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and those people completely forgot about the flower-viewing banquet specially held to joke about Li San.
Presumably, after Li San really marries the champion Hou, he will become a guest wherever he goes.
Li Jiao's eyes were closed, the corners of her lips tightened, and her hand hanging by her side was tightly closed.
Why?
In terms of origin, they are all father's daughters, and she is the eldest daughter; in terms of age, she is about to be seventeen years old, and she is obviously more comparable to the champion Hou; in terms of reputation, even if her grandmother punishes her, it is a matter of Xifu behind closed doors, and her reputation outside is much better than that of Li San.
But it was Li San who was asked to marry in the Marquis Mansion of Jing'an!
Li Jiao bit her lip.
It must be that Li San has already had a personal affair with the champion Hou!
Suddenly there was a burst of exclamations outside the carriage.
"Look, is that group of people from the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, they came to the Li family to formally ask for marriage, right?"
According to the rules, after the man asks the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose marriage, if the woman agrees to propose marriage, the man needs to formally propose to the woman's family.
"Oh my God, I'm not mistaken, the Jing'an Hou Mansion uses live geese!"
"Really? This is the cold winter wax moon, where do the live geese come from?"
Li Jiao suddenly lifted the curtain of the car and looked over.
A group of people walked up to the front, the one at the front dressed decently and carrying a pair of live geese, and the one behind carrying a gift box.
And what makes the crowd restless is the pair of live geese.
According to the ancient rites, Naji and Najib should be treated as a goose, but live geese are not easy to obtain, and over time they are replaced by gold and silver silk and other things.
On such a winter day, the Marquis of Jing'an's proposal to the Li family can be a live goose, which is enough to see the man's sincerity.
Li Jiao stared at the pair of live geese, and there was fire in her eyes, as if thousands of insects and ants were gnawing at her heart.
Why did Li San get such a marriage, and why could she only marry into a family in a village on the outskirts of Beijing?
The madness in Li Jiao's eyes made Xing'er palpitate, but she didn't dare to persuade more.
Outside the car is bustling with people, and inside the car is suffocating quiet.
In such silence, Li Jiao slowly lowered the curtain of the car, and his eyes calmed down.
What the nurse said is right, a woman's future glory and dignity depend on what kind of family she marries into, and she will not marry to the outskirts of Beijing even if she dies!
Li Jiao closed his eyes, and the first thing that flashed in his mind was Zhu Yan, the prince of the Taining Marquis Mansion, and then the face of his cousin Du Feixue.
She shook her head with a mocking smile on her lips.
My cousin's heart has been tied to Zhu Shizi since she was a child, and even her cousin is on guard, lest Zhu Shizi, who is like a baby, be robbed.
She had this thought, but now it seems that how can Zhu Shizi compare with the champion Hou!
Not to mention that she has almost no chance to contact Zhu Shizi, even if she really crosses her cousin and marries Zhu Shizi? She will still bow her head in front of Li San, and she will never be able to press it.
What the hell is she going to do?
On the carriage that gradually moved away, Li Jiao seriously thought about this problem.
And just after the marriage proposal team was about to walk to the gate of the Li family's West Mansion, two people suddenly rushed out with buckets and splashed at the gate of the Li family.
The black door hoop was instantly covered with filth.
The two of them carried empty buckets and shouted loudly at the team that came to propose: "The third girl of the Li family was abducted and sold at the beginning of the year, and she is not an innocent good girl at all, our brothers and sisters should do a good deed and give your mansion a reminder, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when we are married!"
The two men's eyes flashed, and they looked like street scoundrels were deliberately causing trouble, but such humiliation was enough to disgrace the woman.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the team that came to propose marriage to the Marquis of Jing'an, and the matchmaker holding the live goose was already stunned.
The whole team fell silent in an instant, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to react for a while.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and when everyone heard the sound, they saw a young man in a green robe sitting on a horse, wearing a scarlet cloak, followed by several uniformly dressed retinues, all of whom were holding the reins of their horses, and they were unparalleled.
Shao Mingyuan's face was like ice and snow, and he asked the two men condescendingly: "Who gave you the courage to remind Ben Hou?" Reading, a better reading experience.
